Personal Transport System

The Personal Transport System is a prototype jetpack that was developed by the US Air Force at Area 51 in 1992. The $60 million project produced a jetpack with two omnidirectional nozzle-like jets providing thrust, and one of the prototypes was stolen from the research lab by Carl Johnson, who stored it at the Verdant Meadows airfield to the north of Area 51 in the desert of Nevada.
